  My Neighbor Totoro 1988

  ★★★★ Rewatched 09 Dec 2024

  Despite having 4 term papers due within the next 72 hours, I thought I had to prioritize what really matters most: the movies.

  Lovely film. Never really appreciated how great Joe Hisaishi’s score is on prior viewings, but it floored me this go around. Totoro really is just the swellest guy.

  The Movie Emperor 2023

  ★★★ Watched 10 Feb 2024

  Andy Lau is basically playing Lydia Tár in this. A very funny film that works best when its exploring the current state of Mainland-HK film coproduction.
